野界的初始概念来自于对自然环境的好奇心与珍视。所以在开发目标的制定上，野界始终坚持在建设期利用设计规划平衡建设破坏，在运营期用技术优势创造更可持续的度假运营体系这两个核心原则。

The initial concept of the loop village comes from curiosity and cherishment of the natural environment. In the formulation of development goals, the loop village has always adhered to the two core principles of using design and planning to balance constructive destruction during the construction period and using technological advantages to create a more sustainable resort operation system during the operation period.

野界度假酒店项目坐落于吴兴区妙西镇妙山村的竹林山谷中。建筑面积约2000平米， 主要以覆土建筑为主， 结合坡地溪谷景观形成一个占地35亩，拥有13间超大套房的小型度假村。野界项目所拥抱的户外生活方式，不是荒野求生的户外极限，它更多的是一种轻松的周末的户外生活，是一种初心者对大自然的向往起点，或者说是一种城市青年所需要的场景转换。

The Loop Village Resort Hotel project is located in the bamboo forest valley of Miaoshan Village, Miaoxi Town, Wuxing District. The construction area is about 2,000 square meters, mainly composed of earth-covered buildings, combined with the slope valley landscape to form a small resort with an area of 35 acres and 13 super large suites. The outdoor lifestyle embraced by the loop village project is not the outdoor extreme sport of survival in the wilderness. It is more inclined to be a relaxed weekend outdoor life, the starting point of the novice’s yearning for nature, or a kind of scene conversion needed by urban youth.

将建筑藏于地下可以从根本上恢复地表植物覆盖。建造前和建造后可以达到一致甚至更好的植物环境。覆土建筑遇到的最大障碍在于地下水的侵蚀，我们通过特殊的水泥配方和地下架空等设计形式，基本完成了建筑自身的防水， 在南方坡地实现了舒适的室内环境。

Hiding the building underground can fundamentally restore the cover of surface vegetation. It can achieve a consistent or even better plant environment before and after construction. The biggest obstacle to earth-covered buildings is the erosion of groundwater. We have basically completed the waterproofing of the building itself through special cement formulations and underground overhead design, and achieved a comfortable indoor environment on the southern slope.

我们从一开始所设想的自然环境是一片未被扰动的荒野， 人与自然在其中和谐的共存。 那么在经过漫长的建设之后， 我们希望不仅仅达到复绿的效果， 更要有超出原有自然环境的改进。通过覆土建筑这一独特的建筑形式， 我们不仅达到了全面恢复场地植被的既定目标， 更让整个场地产生了更加连绵可探索的地形， 更加可控的水文条件和更丰富的植物环境。

The natural environment we initially envisioned was an undisturbed wilderness in which humans and nature coexist harmoniously. After a long period of construction, we not only hope to achieve the effect of re-greening, but also hope that there will be improvements beyond the original natural environment. Through the unique architectural form of earth-covered buildings, we have not only achieved the established goal of fully restoring the vegetation of the site, but also produced a more continuous and explorable terrain, more controllable hydrological conditions and a richer plant environment for the entire site.
